Fader Furlan Moss LLP

I would love to give this place a negative, unfortunately, I’m unable to do so. I was with FFM for an employment dispute, until recently when the lawyer I was with, left. Because I did not want to restart the whole process of explaining my situation, I decided to follow my lawyer to another firm. Prior to transferring my file I called FFM directly to get my files. Rose ignored my request. I signed a Direction with my new lawyer and the firm did not send all of my file. I called again and spoke with Olga who was rude and dismissive and blew me off, after I told her my court date was set in 2 weeks and how several messages were left already. I was cut off mid sentence, put on hold and rudely told by Sandra that I can’t pick up my file because it was already sent. … please don’t consider this place. For some reason the law clerk assume they are better than the clients, or even future potential clients (never will be).

I won my case but it wasn’t without some drama. My lawyer often wasn’t up to date on my case. I was referred to this firm by a close family friend who is a criminal lawyer. My need was in family law. My lawyer often talked down to me & we had many arguments about the morality of what they wanted me to agree to. My ex was abusive and I was fearful of him however my lawyer tried to convince me to meet with him outside of court to settle. My lawyer met with him on my behalf and belittled me for being afraid. My court dates were postponed due to lawyers personal issues. I’ve come to learn that my case was pretty cut & dried even though my lawyer dragged it on for almost 2 years. I often did my own paper work and letter writing to save money. My bill at the end was $ 17k. I made sure I was in the know about all aspects of my case which irritated my lawyer. When it was all said and done my lawyer said to come back and see them if I have anymore problems. I told them I learned enough that I feel confident I could represent myself. I was asked to leave. This lawyer had a rep of being a «bull dog». I knew someone who had used this lawyer & saw the correspondence from this lawyer. The lawyer was tenacious & fierce when representing this other person in a similar case. It’s too bad I didn’t get the same caliber of representation. Bottom line, after this experience I don’t trust lawyers. I represent myself and do just fine without the hefty bill.
